Either Texas Republicans think that gay people’s behavior “has been ordained by God” or they desperately need a copy editor.
Due to a grammatical error in the section condemning homosexuality in the 2016 Texas Republican platform, the state party has actually suggested that the “majority of Texans” are gay and that the behavior of LGBT people is “ordained by God.”
The section reads:
Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans.
The copy editors at NPR noted that by using the singular “has” instead of “have,” the rest of the sentence refers to “behavior” instead of “truths.” NPR noted that the 2014 Texas Republican platform does not contain the same errors.
Texas Repugs are now coming out of the closet?
More grammar police die in the line of duty than any other category of shamers.
Narrow, but not straight.
No, damn it! I don’t want to be ordained by their God!
Now my goddess on the other hand…
Clearly, the grammatical error was ordained by G-d.
